Pruning

Water
The 'Tranquillity' Rose should be watered deeply once or twice a week, depending on the climate and soil moisture levels. The goal is to maintain evenly moist soil, especially during dry spells. When watering, aim to avoid wetting the foliage to reduce the risk of fungal diseases, instead focusing the water at the base of the plant. It is generally recommended to provide about 1 to 1.5 gallons of water per session. During extreme heat, watering frequency may need to increase.
Light
The 'Tranquillity' Rose thrives in full sun, meaning it requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day to perform its best. A spot that receives morning sun is ideal as it helps to dry dew quickly from the leaves, lowering the risk of disease. Avoid heavily shaded locations, as too little light can reduce flowering and overall plant vigor.
Temperature
The 'Tranquillity' Rose prefers moderate to warm temperatures and can typically survive in USDA hardiness zones 5 through 9. They can endure minimum winter temperatures as low as -20°F but grow best when summer temperatures range between 70°F and 90°F. It's important to protect the rose from severe cold by applying mulch or coverings when temperatures drop near the lower end of their tolerance.
Pruning
Pruning 'Tranquillity' Roses is essential for maintaining plant health, promoting good air circulation, and encouraging vigorous blooms. Prune in late winter or early spring when new growth begins, removing any dead or diseased wood and thinning out crowded areas. The best time for major pruning is when the plant is dormant, but light deadheading of spent flowers can be done throughout the blooming season to encourage further blooms.
Cleaning
As needed
Soil
The best soil mix for the Tranquillity Rose ('Ausnoble') consists of well-draining loamy soil enriched with organic matter like compost or well-rotted manure. Aim for a soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0 to ensure nutrient availability and optimal health.
Repotting
Tranquillity Rose ('Ausnoble') does not require frequent repotting as it is typically planted outdoors. Roses are generally only repotted if they outgrow their container or if the soil needs refreshing, roughly every 2 to 5 years.
Humidity & Misting
Tranquillity Rose ('Ausnoble') thrives best in average outdoor humidity levels. They do not require specific humidity controls beyond natural conditions, as long as there is good air circulation to prevent disease.
Suitable locations
- Indoor
  Ensure bright light, adequate water, and good air flow.
- Outdoor
  Plant in full sun, well-draining soil, water regularly.
- Hardiness zone
  5-10 USDA
Life cycle
The life of 'Rosa Tranquillity' (commonly known as English Rose 'Tranquillity') begins with seed germination, after which the seedling develops roots, a shoot, and leaves. As a perennial plant, it then enters a vegetative growth phase where it forms a bush with green foliage. Come spring and summer, the plant enters the flowering stage, producing creamy yellow flowers with a light fragrance, which attract pollinators and may lead to seed formation if pollinated successfully. After flowering, the plant may produce hips (fruit) containing seeds, which can be dispersed to give rise to new plants. During fall and winter, the rose may enter a period of dormancy, where growth slows and the plant conserves energy. Each year, the cycle can repeat with new growth and flowering, with the plant potentially living and blooming for many years with proper care and pruning.
Propogation
- Propogation time
  Spring-Early Summer
- Propogation: The most popular method of propagating the Rosa 'Tranquillity', which is a patented rose variety licensed by David Austin Roses, is through budding. Budding is performed during the summer months when the plant is actively growing, typically from late July through August. A mature bud is selected from a healthy Rosa 'Tranquillity' plant and inserted under the bark of a rootstock, usually a hardy and disease-resistant rose variety. The bud is then taped or bound in place, and the rootstock is often cut back to just above the inserted bud. Over time, the bud will grow and establish itself, using the rootstock's root system, to become a new plant that is genetically identical to the original Rosa 'Tranquillity'. This process is preferred for patented roses because it respects the plant breeders' rights and ensures that the new plants maintain the characteristics of the original variety.
